TomsFocus Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hardly an achievement in a huge van, he'd have had to take 2 anyway....its when you see an Aygo parked across 4 spaces, that's an achievement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 BOGOF at the hospital... I reckon 9 out of 10 for the Rover which has been abandoned with a certain flair. The Lexus only deserves a 5, losing marks for being straight and pulling fully into the parking berth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I was going to say people have probably got a need to park with extra door room at the hospital and most likely have bigger things on thier mind... But that Rover 25...I mean...how did they even do that unless it broke down during the manouvre!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note... A year later, I'm still trying to shift some ZR/R25 parts... Mostly new or refurbed as well, even at well below half RRP I can't get rid of them on eBay or gumtree. /plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, to somebody who has never owned a 200/25 you wouldn't really see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 True, never owned either as I'm not an 80 year old lady... Worked on quite a few of the 'fancy' 25s though...aka ZRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Astra part that anyone wanted was a exhaust middle box that went for 99p on eBay, it's start price Given the frequency that vauxhall parts fail, I would have thought, if anything the Volvo parts, would've been the hardest to shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't do 99p starts anymore, as that's almost always the end as well lol! After eBay fees and paypal fees you're down to 50p, then have to wait around for the buyer too. I tend to go with a BIN or best offer now. The other thing I find hard to shift is aftermarket headunits, even for a tenner no-one wants them...yet people steal them for some reason!! Can't be very lucrative for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 A great example of teamwork bellendery! Pickups with trailers are parked on the pavement of a well used walking route either side of an entrance to a multi-occupancy residence. Also note the entrance to a field directly opposite. I presume the owners of the vehicles are shooting geese up the hill to the right and have been given permission to shoot but not to park in the field.

Pullock Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Just looked outside to see this, I know they are visiting my next door neighbour, I know my street is narrow but that does not excuse them parking across MY driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
